[APBeta] Problem Getting Astroplanner V2 FOV to Synchronize with Cartes du Ciel FOV

[Ken Harrison]

Russ,
I use CdC V3 but when I do exactly what you did it will work 100% *when the
AP object is also available in the CdC database*, but if its not, CdC will
select the nearest star to the required position. ( This was a similar
problem with GOTO with EQmod and CdC - now resolved)
If you do a trial with say Vega selected in AP and then click the "E" button
in the FOV screen you'll find the CdC chart is shows the same FOV and has
Vega in the centre.
I tried with a WR star (HD4004) which wasn't in the current CdC database and
it selected a Tyc star closeby instead.
Hope this helps,
Ken
